1985 250 CCP restore

After reviewing the vendor website, their biz seems tuned to go-fast and bass boats, etc.

Different than what Navy needs....although they do show some 17 and 18 pitch.

Twins...trips...quads. Everything changes.

Dale Hadley...please check in and advise...thanks

Guess I'm looking at a different site. The one I went to had a cc, flats, pontoon, bass, aluminum skiff.
I must have a different link.

Looking at  Dale's prop site...offshore rides with multiple engines are not referenced or addressed.

Hopefully he'll advise.

Scotty, looking at the props available from Dale, as indicated by the CR props in his inventory, he IS addressing multiple engined offshore boats, up to and including 16 inchers for Zuke's bigger gearcases.

I would say it's somewhat similar to Prop Gods where you describe to Dale what model boat you have, the weight (or estimated), type of power, what you desire (hole shot, top end, mid-range, fuel economy, etc.), and he recommends the prop (or set of props) that he feels will best met your needs/wants...

Well I'm not a "Prop Guru" even in my sleep but.....
Since Navy asked about a 4 blade.....

Lew has PM'd Dale. Looking forward to his input

Missed that part of the site guys, so stand corrected...notice the prop CB posted is ported...interesting.

I like the way Merc has plugs with varying sized openings so you can theoretically control the anount of areation the blades see.  We used Michigan Wheel props at Stamas, they were ported but you only got a solid plug kit with the prop...all or nothing...

Gents, still looking for a bracket, had one then the guy changed his mind after we had a deal and I guess he got offered more money from someone local, I do have a Question,, I am putting  Twin 1989 Johnson 200's on the back of her, weight shouldn't be an issue is it? I had a pair of T 140's on it its not to much xtra weight I believe, thoughts anyone...  

[seabob4]

Not in my opinion.  Larger boats, with the inherant fiberglass weight in the mid sections and forward sections of the boat, are must less effected and smaller boats, like a 19-6, 22-2, or 200.  The 250 has a lot of glass throughout her, she's a pretty "big" boat for a 25 footer.  Sure, she'll be a bit lower at the stern with the bracket and the 200s, but not enough to worry.  The percentage of increased weight aft versus the entire boat's weight is not that great, when in comparison to a pair of 140s mounted directly to the transom.

[NavyCWO]

Thanks seabob, I will move forward with my plan, she should move along just fine, I  wonder if I can get her to plane on 1 eng. that would be great

[gran398]

Tilt the other 200 up......not only will the single get on plane propped correctly, but you'll be pleasantly surprised at how she "limps" home

[NavyCWO]

Gran, thanks again, I got a great deal on a brand new flo scan twin scan (never used) today, $200 I will need this with only 120 gal of gas, I will have to keep an eye on the burn rate..

[NavyCWO]

Gents, I will tell you trying to find a good used transom bracket at a decent price is proving to be a massive challenge, here's a question, I know how to find the transom angle on a boat, pretty easy, so I found a bracket but the guy doesn't know what kind of boat it came off of, so I figured you could just reverse how you measure a transom to measure the bracket angle that sounds right doesn't it??? looking for guidance...  

[Capt. Bob]

1.Using the face that bolts to the transom (right side/studs visible) measure the length of the face. (hyp)
2.Flip it over and drop a perpendicular (plumb bob/ sinker on fishing line/framing square) and measure the distance between the "bottom" and the line.( opp)

Divide #2 (opp) by #1 (hyp)  and you have the sine of the angle. Use a calculator with trig functions/book with same/Google) and you'll get the bracket angle.

Yes, same way as the transom calcs.
